I’ve had a difficult week as I started a bladder infection, which I thought was better, it came back with a vengeance and I had to go to the doctor’s last Friday. So I’m a bit late in posting. I started a new morning programme with strength exercise from SparkPeople and rather like that it [...]

Claude – resuming exercise week
Well, it’s been somewhat difficult, this week, with ups and downs especially in motivation. I have been exploring the incredibly richness of SparkPeople in terms of suggestions for exercise and will try to adapt some of them to my way of life. Thank you Sara, for mentioning it to me. I have also noticed that [...]

Claude – Wales! Here we come
With my friend Catherine, we’re driving to Zeebrugge, with a lunch stop at Bruges, with a walk around the city. Then Hull the next morning, and final destination, Chester, which is not in Wales, but very conveniently situated to drive to different destinations in Northern Wales. It was rather a good week, exercisewise, as the [...]

Claude – another hot week
Except for Tuesday, all week was steaming hot. Not my favourite weather at all. I know, I’m always complaining about the weather, too hot, too cold, too rainy, too snowy… And we do have to adjust, don’t we? One of the things that comforts me is the fact that although I still don’t like heat [...]

Claude – two hot exercise weeks
I have been too busy, too lazy and probably too hot to post the week before last. My good friends from Norwich were here for a week and their stay started with a very cold day (12°c) to go on with the beginning of a heat wave that lasted until yesterday. I must say that [...]

Claude – from very cold to very hot
We’ve had really huge temperature variations. At the beginning of the week, it was raining and awfully cold and yesterday, I decided to get my fans out as it’s really getting hot. I am finding it more and more difficult to reach my optimal heartrate when walking briskly. It used to be difficult to keep [...]

Claude – chilly week, no rain, good exercise
I haven’t taken a photo of the thing that I am using for thigh muscle reinforcement, but Sara found the equivalent on Amazon Ta daaaaah! The ThighMaster, ladies! I’ve had quite a good week exercisewise, in spite of chilly weather. I find that chilly is better than rainy I have managed one swim and two [...]

Claude – readjusting to exercise other than walking
When in England, except for the few minutes every morning to get my body into movement, which I baptized “stretching” a long time ago, movements that I basically do while still in bed, all I did was walk, walk, walk. I found that I like my newly-found routines. AND I have realized that they are [...]

Claude – still with feet problems
But not such a bad week on the whole. I only got my new insoles on Thursday and the guy who made them said I should get used to them slowly (one hour the first day, two the second and so on) They are quite different from all the insoles I’ve had up to now [...]

Sara – sneaky calorie burning tips
I will credit Prevention magazine with many of these, although some are variations on things I have thought of too — and probably things you have thought of as well. Major stumbling blocks for me are lack of motivation and boredom/succumbing to routine. In fact I seem to have a positive aversion to routine…and since [...]
